Description
How much does an email client need to do?Taking after the Sparrow application on the Mac, and Mail on the Windows Phone, Dispatch would be a simple look at e-mail, focusing on just the messages you receive and nothing else.
Starting with a single column, messages would emerge from the right of the application, presenting them in a simple and straight forward user interface.
Any thoughts of improvement on this?

this is awesome! but one of the thing that made Sparrow awesome was also the Facebook contacts integration with contact photos!

This looks really cool. What bothers me (or am unable to imagine how it would work) is multiplicity. Allow me to elaborate.
In my Thunderbird, I have 6 email accounts, each with multiple folders (inbox, sent, deleted, archive). That itself is just two layers of variation. While multiple folders can be written next to where it says "inbox", we must have a way to have multiple accounts as well.
In addition, how would things such as multiple messages be handled? Would they open in separate boxes, or in tabs / pivots, or not at all? Having multiple messages open at the same time is important.
Finally, we would need a search bar, at least in the left window. In the right (message) pane, one could hit F3 or Ctrl+F to bring it forward, but it should be readily visible in the left window.

I would use this, straight up exactly as is. Really nice.

Maybe some sort of conversation support, so that you can see previous messages in the conversation.

would be better if it was one window imo. Then you could atleast incorporate a searchbar. And I notice you have what looks like a reply button on both the list and the actual message. Why is that?
